a) "Let's get Out of The Country" by Camera Obscura is a work of utter, utter genius. Not only that, but you won't hear a better single than "Lloyd, I'm Ready To be Heartbroken" this year. Or eveer, possibly. Much love

and I felt obligated to lend my support. They're an absolutely great band with three great albums (Biggest Blue Hi-Fi, Underachievers Please Try Harder and Let's Get Out of This Country.) Their first album sounds like a more-guitar led (especially the last track) B&S - understandable perhaps, as Stuart Murdoch produced it and Richard did the drums. Underachievers was a more instrumentally diverse album, and it moved the band away from being a very B&S influenced band to one with their own sound. Their newest album, Let's Get Out is a great album which you should all purchase. If you can find the EPs as well, check those out, as they've got some great songs, like "Let's Go Bowling" or, "A Red, Red Rose". Seriously folks, check them out. They're got everything a B&S fan will enjoy; literate lyrics, chiming guitars and a lovely voice propelling it all. Oh, and hello! This is my first posting here.
